Occupational Therapy’s Role in Returning To Work

An injury or health condition that causes temporary or permanent disability can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to work. However, this doesn’t mean the end of your career and livelihood. Occupational therapy plays an important role in rehabilitation following an injury or medical condition, in order for you to return to work. We explore how the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) provides assistance to individuals through its Return To Work programme. Joining us for this discussion is Ahmad Zaidin Othman, Senior Case Manager (Rehabilitation and Quality Monitoring) from PERKESO.
